Most people fail to understand the importance of elderly people in society. They are the ones who preserve the traditional and cultural values present in any ethnic group or community. Without them teaching the younger generations about their culture, the diversity of traditions and cultures in India would have been long lost during the time of colonization.
Moreover, elders are like the roots of the tree. They hold the family firmly at all times and make them strong. They are the ideal mentor. From all the experiences they have accumulated over the years, they can judge a situation and give constructive advice to their children. They also play an important role in solving disputes among the family members. Elderly people play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. They spend time with them, play with them, and teach them important rules and values of life in the form of stories. The stories that they tell have a positive impact on the young minds of children. They also provide a safe and loving environment for children to grow in, which is something that no child care center can provide.
In general, they are a form of blessing for all of us. They are the greatest treasure of the family, society, and nation. They have an immense ocean of knowledge, experience, and wisdom which serves as a guidepost for the younger generation. But, nowadays, people have started to view old people as a burden. They believe that elders no longer have the ability to learn new things which is far from the truth. According to research, the human brain never stops growing. The loss in reaction time and brain activity leads to gain in decision making and insights. Hence, elders are less likely to respond thoughtlessly to negative emotional stimuli and are more in control of their emotions.
